Another update:
Took off the plastic under trays on the passenger side earlier today to investigate the ABC leak. It seems to be coming from one of the three rubber hoses that go into the valve block. As the gearbox is out of the car, I can’t start it to check this so, I’ve decided to replace all three as, they all look like they can do with a refresh. I’ve taken measurements and made an order for three custom hydraulic hoses that can withstand 4500PSI so, that gives a nice big cushion over the operating 3000PSI rating. Just to note, the internal pipe diameter is all the same so, this won’t change the operating PSI level.
While in this area, I’m going to replace a steel fuel line with a new custom one paired with a new rubber fuel hose that leads into the fuel filter - I had to change this a couple years ago as all the pipes broke when replacing the fuel filter and did this before I had any ramps so, not 100% happy with the job I had done then. There’s also another fuel line I’ll replace too but, will photograph this when all these pipes arrive.
I’ve also decided to buy some Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines for the CL too - I got side tracked when looking at parts then got a little carried away
I am looking at trying to find brake new heat shields for under the car but, they’re impossible find right now.
